jdawg4876 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I only saw through half of the 4th quarter. Defense D line- Liked the starters and most of the back ups. highlights to me were grady, poe, reed with his freeney spin move (against a back up), hageman, and vellano Lbs- we got a lot of good depth here all the way around. debo and campbell def were the stars and I thought duke looked good for his first action CBs and safeties- I know everyone thinks we got a lot of depth here, but im not sure yet. trufaunt looked tentative with his shoulder, and goodwin got burned pretty bad and lets not even talk about Jalen Collins, Im not going to pile on the guy he def has talents but his head seems screwed up to me. Also Rico took a bad angle, just saying. I thought Neal's back up was actually not half bad he was number 20 I believe. Offense Qbs- not much to say here we only got to see ryan and schaub for what like 8 plays total. Simms is utter trash to me and I didnt see enough of torgersen to say one way or another O line- I know most say they were trash but I disagree our starters looked good and both garland and wes held up well. one will be pretty good depth. we do have problems at swing tackle, but we didnt get to see the guy that was supposedly winning the battle bc he is injured. I thought DJ did pretty well also. Pass protection was better than the run blocking but with simms you couldnt tell. They did open a few holes for ward and hil but hill never saw the hole or hit them way too slow. Wrs- Sanu had my favorite catch of the night and I thought reggie davis and marvin hall did well. I am surprised we didnt see any of hardy at all. Tes- hooper and levine were good. perkins and saubert were not at all to me. Rbs- Freeman had a nice catch. Tevin did nothing. ward is way farther along than hill. I was not impressed with hill at all. Im not saying he cant turn it around but to me he lacks vision, speed, and agility. Also I think we might end up missing Pat Dimarco a lot more than some think. Not impressed with derrick coleman so far. KR- I think it is andre roberts to lose he was great. In fact so far if we keep 6 wrs I hope it is julio, sanu, gabriel, hardy, roberts, and reggie davis. Mike Meyer- is a good kicker and deserves a shout out. I think overall Im way more impressed than some, but I think we got a lot of good depth at most spots including at o line, bc this yrs group did a lot better than last yrs group against the dolphins. plus no injuries win/win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 #20 is Sharrod Neasman and yes he can play. Dude was my fav UDFA we got last season. Haven't changed my sig since then. I didn't think he was going to be playing SS though. Was kinda surprised by that. InB4 i just jinxed him Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEADCOACH Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think you are pretty spot on. I wasn't impressed with Hill at all. He looks like a slow version of Teco with no agility. I just don't seem him beating out Ward at this point. I like Neasman. I think he did pretty good. Saubert had a bad night. Hope he gets better.

AndySG Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have only watched highlights so far so ignore me if I'm wrong, but I think it was Marcelis Branch rather than Rico who took the bad angle if it's the long TD you are referring to.

Gimme. Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I just want Jermaine Grace to make the team. Dude has starter potential for sure and should be used to push Riley's progression as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme. Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If I drove any backup's train it would be Nick Williams' ...I could only imagine what the Patriots or Packers could do with him and he's been plugging away here for awhile and still hasn't gotten a solid look in the 5 wideouts. If we ever let him go watch one of the teams I just mentioned pick him up. Either them or someone in our own division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiFree3 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 From the moment DiMarco left, I have feared we would miss him more than most seem to think. Before Dimarco, the only time we had a really great running game was when Ovi was on the payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 None of the offensive linemen past the starters and Garland/Schweitzer were any good. Matt Simms was running for his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted there were plays when he had no time but, there were plenty of plays he had enough time. I saw too many bad throws to blame the Oline exclusively..

His QB clock hasn't calibrated yet. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Simms wasn't that bad. With virtually no protection, most of his throws were on target; plus his receivers dropped 5 passes that hit them right in the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you are wrong - Simms played good - back-ups on O-Line were awful. Simms got a lot done all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurate, poised, etc. nice find. I've never really felt like Falcons care much about back-up QBs - they have been forturnate Matty Ice has been so healthy.

His closing speed on the Jones INT in the red zone was Debo-like. Anthony Dable & J'Terius Jones also looked good.

RichardCNile Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I"ll write up more later after a re-watch the game, but here are a few that I saw. Starting Offense looked very good, but some grind and polish over the next few weeks should get us back to great. We ran generic stuff and didn't have 2 of our starting WR's, so I was pleased with what I saw. Starting Defense - WoW! Poe was 1-2 yrds deep in the backfield on most every play. On one play it looked like he was triple teamed and still held his ground. LB's were flying around.. Tackling was solid and consistent. Stuffed the run and pass coverage was solid. I will be interested to see what happens with some game planning & stunts. I think whoever starts at QB for the Bears is gonna be in trouble. Kick game - Aside from the fumble... I thought we looked great. The first punt return was amazing and the icing on the cake was "NO Penalty." I'm very excited that our return game will be legit this year. We clearly lack depth at o-line... but we all knew that. It will be interesting to see if DQ brings in some vets at the last minute to shore up some depth. No need to mention Collins. Clearly his is no emotionally and mentally where he wants/needs to be, but hey, he has like 14 weeks to get it sorted out, so not really worried about it. I will also add the the rookie Harlow got a rude intro do the NFL. One play he got donkey kicked and knocked 3 yards into the backfield by the DT. I watched him for a while and he did fight hard, but he really really struggled to be effective. But, he's a late round rookie so... what can you expect.

jdawg4876 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 like I said I think we do got depth at guard/center bc both wes and garland did well enough, so I think we got a decent starter and the other will be a good backup depending on who wins. Tackle is an issue like I said, but simms was not running for his life every play a lot of times he just wanted to plain run before he had to. Simms has no pocket presence, unlike the dolphins qbs who stayed calm and threw the ball even though there were times they had pressure in their face as well. I hope the tackle who didnt play bc of injury will be better than what we saw last night. if not we will dig through the cut players line.
